-------(english version, although for now the language of this group remains german)-------
We are all living in a phantastic geographical area and do work on an amazing platform - Drupal. So why shouldn't we be able to combine the two and regularely meet somewhere around the lake to share our ideas and experiences to become even better Drupalers, individually and collectively.

This group got started in the end of 2010 in preparation of the forthcoming Drupal 7 release and to host a release party for it. Let's see how significant this event looks with hindsike in a couple of years.

On the weekend of January 17 + 18, 2015, dozens of Drupal contribution sprints will be taking place across the globe. Amazee Labs invites all of you interested in learning, hacking and improving Drupal to join us for two days of pure sprinting!

Regardless of your knowledge level, if you have built a site in Drupal, you can contribute and are warmly welcomed.

What can I work on?

We will split into groups and work on Drupal core issues. Bring your laptop. For new folks: you can get a head start also by making an account on Drupal.org, setting up your dev environment (https://www.drupal.org/dev-env) and developers can install git before coming and git clone Drupal 8 core.

A great way to get started with contributing to Drupal core is to get involved with an initiative. We'll have local folks present with knowledge about Multilingual, Rules, CMI etc. Also check out the Drupal core initiatives and topics!

This is going to be a very exciting meeting end of November 2014 in Conatance: Matthias Walti from Switzerland is going to present all about Panopoly - a Drupal distribution that claims you can "build a house and get started at the 10th floor."

All nice and easy? Matthias will demonstrate the power of Panopoly going through this agenda:

The next user meeting of the DUGB is about to take place end of September 2014 in Konstanz and we are looking forward to meet Drupalists from all around the lake - from Switzerland, Austria and Germany.

Are you interested? Do you know other people in your network who might be interested? Please forward an invitation and if possible, please register yourself so that we get a chance to prepare ourselves for the right number of attendees.

Any suggestions or ideas are always welcome, please share them with us.

We were pretty stunned by the fact that you folks submitted an awesome amount of 60 sessions. Selecting sessions always means that you have to draw a line at some point, but I really think that we were able to put together an outstanding line-up of Drupal and non-Drupal talks for this conference.

Keynotes anyone?

This is really exciting for us! Jeffrey aka. Jam McGuire from Acquia will kick-off the camp with his Friday keynote "Connecting Open Minds" that very much reflects our conference theme: connect with relevant experts from within and outside of the Drupal community.

Equally exciting, but from a totally different angle, John O'Nolan, founder of the Ghost project keynotes the second day of DrupalCamp Vienna: "Focus: The Value of Choosing Just One Thing at The Bazaar" is about the value of not diversifying, but doing just one thing - and doing it really, really well.

My name is Henno Gous, and I am a qualified industrial engineer and Drupal web developer from South Africa. I will be moving to Europe with my wife in in March/April 2014 and I'm looking for work. The actual location where I find a job will probably determine where we move to... we're open for suggestions :)

I'm currently finishing my Ph.D in industrial engineering, focussing on innovation management. I have also worked as an internet strategist, business analyst and web developer over the last 6 years and I have extensive knowledge of the Drupal platform.
